LORD OF THE RINGS (EXTENDED VERSION)

This extended version of Lord Of The Rings has excerpts from both Magician's Hat and Attic Thoughts. I guess the packaging and marketing of CD's allowed for throwing a few more songs on as so many artists are now doing with remasters these days. Sure it is great to get CD versions of Lord Of The Rings but I still strongly recommend getting the original albums unless that is impossible then get this to introduce you to the Bo Hansson sound.

There are some wrongs here, this was released in 1988 and it was also Remixed 1988 at Silence Studio. Its a great album, the remix is also very good, consider it an alternative version, and if you havent got any Bo Hansson, It is a great way to experience his debut and parts of his 2nd and 3rd album, And hopefully you will enjoy it enough to purchase all his 4 classic albums ! If only there were MORE in the archive, cause a Bo Hansson boxset would be awsome, as i know there are things in the archive, a partly remake was done in 1972 for a Swedish TV Mini movie for "LOTR" - And also Watership Down was remixed too, back in 1981 on Love Records (?!), released under the title American Engineered (Music Inspired By Watership Down) - I have never heard this, but collect it all, pack it as a boxset, include all the various mixes, outtakes and maybe Bo`s song performed many many times by Bo and Flasked Brinner !!
